Question
Im sure my goldfish swallowed something he shouldnt. Yesturday i fed my goldfish ( outdoor, in ground )as i droped the food in i noticed a foating seed or something and before i could get it out in the feeding frenzy one off my large fish had to swallow it. And too day i find him not well, what can i do if anything too help him pass what ever it was that he swallowed? Thankyou.

Answer
Can you possibly take him out, put him a large tub with the pond water, and bring the goldfish inside for a physical examination? Often times you can feed him peas but if its a solid object there is very little you can do for it.

Most goldfish ponds have thin nets over them to protect them from objects, trash, and critters.
